A video capturing a woman dressed in medical scrubs hurling anti-Muslim abuse at two shoppers inside a Texas supermarket has spread rapidly across social media, drawing widespread condemnation online.
The footage was filmed at an H-E-B store on Davis Street in Conroe, where the woman, who has not been formally identified, can be seen approaching two women, one wearing a hijab, near a shopping trolley. The clip was first posted to Facebook by Aijaz Chaudary, who said in his caption that the woman had confronted his daughter and her friend while they were shopping, directing offensive comments at them over their faith.
In the recording, the woman tells the pair they don’t belong “in this state or country,” describes herself as “very educated on the subject,” and goes on to claim that “Islam is a terrorist organisation, not a religion.” She continues by insisting the United States is “a Christian country” rather than a Muslim one, before telling the women to “go back to your country.” Both women respond by stating they are American citizens, though the woman persists with her comments regardless.
It remains unclear whether the footage captures the full exchange or what preceded it, and none of the details surrounding the confrontation have been independently verified. Neither H-E-B nor local police had issued any public comment at the time the story emerged, and there is no confirmation that a formal complaint has been lodged.
Reaction online has been swift, with many users criticising the woman’s behaviour and calling for her to face consequences. Some have attempted to track down her identity and workplace in an effort to have her dismissed, though her employer has not been verified and no organisation has responded publicly to the claims.
